We've tried out several public beaches close to Orlando, and found all of them to be clean and nice, but crowded. We really wanted to get away from a lot of the crowds, and especially find a beach that you weren't allowed to drive on. (Mommy's annoying safety issues...) We ended up finding a stretch of beach called Playalinda. It is located in a national park, and a little farther out than the beaches we had previously been visiting. The beach is heavenly! You can't see anything but green (grass/trees), sand, and water! No hotels, restaurants, cars, or crazy college kids...it was amazingly un-crowded and had a secluded feeling. We'll definitely be re-visiting. The only downside was that they don't allow pets, so poor Mr. Mugsy had to remain at home this trip. Oh, of course, I took my camera, so here are pictures:
One of the reasons that I love to take them to the beach is that they play so well once we are there. No fighting, screaming, tantrums, or messes...I love it!
Hannah and Halle made Piper her own little wade pool. Every time the tide would come in it would fill up her little pool. Piper played in it for the longest time!
Here are a couple of Piper:
And now Halle:
And my big girl, Hannah... She loves the beach and ocean the most, I think. It's hard to capture too many pictures of her because she is so busy playing the whole time. Here, though, she was relaxing and swimming around on her wakeboard.
